Imagine a sunny afternoon spent with friends in the heart of Seville, surrounded by the lush beauty of Parque María Luisa, as you dive into the art of basket weaving. This isn't just an ordinary outing—it's a creative and culturally enriching experience that brings you closer together while connecting you with Andalusian traditions.

Talented local artisans select the best wicker rods, soak them until they’re nice and bendy, and then weave them into intricate designs. Each basket tells a story of skill and creativity, making them truly one-of-a-kind treasures.

We enjoyed spending the evening making our baskets learning from our talented guides. By the end, we had all have crafted unique baskets to take home—each one a reminder of this special day spent together. The experience is a delightful blend of learning, creativity, and connection, set against the backdrop of one of Seville’s most beloved parks.
